Explore the breathtaking bird life in one of the best birding sites in the Philippines through this new book by wild bird photographer Vinz Pascua.
“Birds of Subic Bay” features one hundred and one species of birds found in the Subic Bay area, ranging from the sought-after Philippine endemics to the seasonal migrants and local residents. Each bird species is presented through vibrant and high-quality photographs that bring these birds to life. Accompanying the visual experience, “Birds of Subic Bay” also offers information about each bird species, as well as information about the more popular birding hotspots in the area.
As a heartfelt tribute to the original guardians of the birds and forests of Subic Bay, this book also features the Ayta Ambala names of each bird, honoring the native language of the Indigenous Peoples who have called Subic Bay their home.
With his exceptional talent for bird photography and graphic design, Vinz Pascua shares his deep passion for the natural beauty of his country in this remarkable work. At just 22 years old and nearing college graduation, he demonstrates his exceptional talent in both bird photography and graphic design through this book – the first that offers a comprehensive exploration of the diverse avian life in the Subic Bay area through fascinating photographs.
